Try to look at it this way - Let's go back to BB6 and say Ivette had been AP. With the overwhelming popularity of Janell/Kaysar, do you really think you would have voted to evict Janelle even tho you knew that was what Ivette wanted most? Would have never happened. And maybe if they had AP in BB6, we wouldn't have had to endure the likes of Maggie, Jen, etc. That's the way I see these people - with the LNC being equal to "The Friendship"

When she sees the tapes she may laugh it off and say "oh that explains a lot, now I understand!" but for right now the poor girl is getting hurt and that's not right. I totally and wholeheartedly agree, Wargod! Eric is NOT the one being hurt here, it is an innocent bystander...

A thought popped into my head last night...Do all of the votes he has cast for eviction on behalf of America count as success? If so, that would be 5 more, soon to be 6 successes. He is in the money for sure. Maybe someone has the answer to this.

He only gets credit if the person America says to vote out is evicted. He doesn't get credit for the vote only. And we have to see yet who America actually wants voted out this week. I'm not so sure they won't say Dick.

Can he just not do the task? Can he talk to Jess and just say the heck with this task, is that an option?

It's looks like the last AP is probably over, because he said his fake quarantine was to last 12 hours until his "pills" kicked in.

Lucy, But has Eric been credited with successes for the ones he voted out that have been evicted? According to cbs/voting history he got Carol and Joe right, so that would be 2 more successes...or am I not figuring right?

Stopthemadness...I would have no problem whatsoever with him forgetting about this task...however there are some that think he should be fired if he does.

Who said I was upset? <93> That said, I am going to vote this week to try to make Eric vote out Dustin so I can get more Dick.

This twist has really ruined the show for me. At first I thought it was fun but now that America has been brain washed by the edits it's just no fun to watch Eric recieve his orders to stab his alliance in the back. I'm seriously considering not watching any more. If CBS does not give up their lame twists I WILL NOT WATCH NEXT YEAR AT ALL.

Caprica...it wasn't the twist that ruined the show for me! It was America messing with the vote and trying to further their own players rather than helping Eric. The other thing that has messed up the show for me this year is in the organ music thread!

Well, it seems that Eric's objective to get Dustin nominated has come true. This, after so many people accused him of not doing what America votes him to do. Now watch--all the AP naysayers will pile on to vote, vote, vote for Dustin to go. The same people who claim to hate the twist and hate Eric will be the first to participate in the twist, whole hog.

I don't think Eric had anything to do with Dustin getting nominated. He hasn't even spoke to Jessica for 12 hours! And really hasn't spoken with the others in his alliance either other than to say he was sick and to tell Jessica he was sick. Dustin said he wanted to go up against Dick so he could say, let the best man win. In the long run though, getting Dustin out will be much better for Eric strategically. Jameka, Amber, and Dustin were having doubts about him just today....so the sooner he is gone the better off Eric will be.

LOL I'm not buying that getting Dustin out is good for Eric. Jameka, Amber and Dustin may have been having doubts, but Dick, Daniele, Zach and Jen know they want him gone! No doubts. So just how is that better for Eric? And Eric did plenty of talking prior to the 12 hours to try to get Dustin up but it figures that people don't want to give him credit for it. He can't win no matter what he does. Remember it's the people that wanted Dustin gone that didn't want Eric talking to Jessica for 12 hours.

So true, Bastable! And then they will be upset because Eric backtabbed Dustin...someone that helped to save him last week!

Napa1526...it was shown on the show last night that Eric was in the HOH talking with Jessica about putting Dustin up against Dick.

I think Eric is in a no win situation. Dustin leaves - D/D will still be gunning for him. Dustin stays and his own alliance will still have doubts. Either way, Eric will be nominated for eviction next week. Although Eric is not one of my favorites (don't have any), I'd like to see 2 or 3 other players evicted before he goes. JMHO

Lainee, All we can do is back AP's play, as best we can. I don't want to see Dick go but I'll vote for Eric to send him out of the house because it's the smartest strategic move AP can make this week. If the poll gets freeped into oblivion and Eric has to slit his own throat again, then there isn't a lot we can do but hope that the suspicion it casts on him is so great that the house unifies behind getting rid of him immediately. I don't have the stomach to watch America flay him week after week.

I totally agree Sidhe! I am just glad he made it far enough that when he is evicted he goes to sequester and I get to vote at F2! LOL

Eric slits his own throat by committing himself one way or another BEFORE he sees what the rest of the "America's Player Alliance" would like him to do.

I don't know why I am going to respond yet again and say that Eric is playing for 500,000 dollars...he hs to form alliances in the house, if he didn't he would have been gone long ago. I am one of apparently VERY FEW that believe this to be an alliance with Eric to help him get to the end...not to throw him under the bus like America does every opportunity that comes along!

I think that if a lot of us felt that Eric was on a team with us, we would consider his feelings and work to get him ahead in the game. It will be a good life lesson for him to look back on this and realize that if you are part of a group, you need to actually consider that it is not all about you and work within the "office politics." If you get the others working with you, have respect for them and actually consider their advice, it is amazing how they will help you get where you want to be. It may be an expensive lesson for him to learn, but one he can use every day.

If people don't like the way America's Player works then they should blame BB. It is working the way BB wanted it to work. Eric is being placed in a difficult position week after week by competing goals (his desire to play his own game, stay in the house longer and possibly win 500k vs. helplessly following whatever the majority of voters wants him to do). This has now been exacerbated by some viewers deliberately voting to give Eric a hard time. Yep. Lots of controversy and BB loves it! They set-up Eric and they set-up the viewers.
